The next three have “color” code names:
Fuchsia

The first 8 figures all have a mainline (non-exclusive) pre-price increase MSRP of $19.99* while the next 5 all carry the SRP $26.49* pointing to those all being exclusives.

Rumor Report: Two New Black Series (Exclusive?) Listings Located at Target

Leave a comment

Poking around at Target’s price checking stations, I managed to uncover two new potential Black Series exclusives that follow the “exercise” code names started by “Lunge” which we reported a couple months ago.

“Squat” is currently priced similarly to the recent Target exclusive Clone Wars figures at $26.49, while “Jog” is $10 more and suggests it being a deluxe item.

The UPCs I have for these don’t match anything I’ve previously uncovered (yet) so these are definitely new items. This info has been added to our 2021 Master List for future reference.

Rumor Report: 5 New TVC Figure Listings Found Via Walmart app

Leave a comment

Yesterday, I teased the reveal of a bit of forthcoming Vintage Collection (TVC) news and now that I’ve some time, here it is. Five new TVC listings have turned up in Walmart’s system* . Interestingly, a new code naming theme has been introduced with this wave with the names of oceans. “Atlantic”, “Pacific”, “Indian”, and “Arctic”. The fifth name looks familiar as the “Omega” name (from The Mandalorian) has turned up in our prior Black Series rumor report. It’s a pretty safe bet that they are the same character, the question is, who is it?

*Note: these are NOT Walmart exclusives.
